Story

71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals and story have a Silent Hill vibe, and the trip hop soundtrack definitely confirms this was an inspiration.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I bought the DLC so I could further support the dev and because I genuinely found the environments as well as visuals rather beautiful (you can replay the scenes and set up different style snapshots).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The ambient sounds, SFX, and music all deserve praise for creating a frightening atmosphere at times, with the player praying for the jump scare to happen already, so it doesn’t tease you anymore, but alas, that sweet relief never comes when you want it, does it?
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It strikes the perfect balance by creating a scary atmosphere that builds up tension and lets the player see the amazing work this man has done with the textures and models in the game.
